2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics face risks from funding gaps, delayed construction, and climate-related snow issues.

Pressure is mounting on 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics organizers due to funding shortfalls, delayed venue work, and climate challenges like warm temperatures that limit snowmaking to nighttime. International Ski and Snowboard Federation president Johan Eliasch, an IOC member, warned that insufficient government funding is causing technical issues and threatening event quality, urging a shift to a rotating host model to ensure long-term planning, reduce waste, and improve sustainability.
